Edwin Rivera, an 18-year-old Hispanic male, died on February 10, 2016, days after being shot during a violent incident inside the Santa Clara bar at 500 S. Bond St. in the Fells Point neighborhood. The shooting occurred on February 6, 2016; Rivera was one of three people shot that night.

An investigation identified three suspects: Nehemias Batista, Argueta Andres, and Melvin Zavala. Batista was tried and a jury found him guilty of first-degree murder in Rivera’s death. The jury also convicted Batista of the attempted first-degree murder of Mario Vasquez and first-degree assault of Oscar Guerrero.

Batista received a life sentence for the murder of Rivera and the attempted murder of Vasquez, along with additional concurrent prison terms for the assaults of Oscar Guerrero and Erma Merivia. Does anyone have information about Rivera’s time in Baltimore or the night at the Santa Clara bar?
